I’m not sure if anyone actually reads these recap posts, but, they’re going to be a monthly thing from here on out (more on that later), and I know it’d be a useful exercise for me at least to get all of this down. I’ve broken it down into the overview, and then categories for […]
(some eternal productivity wisdom via Ron Swanson of Parks & Rec) One of my repeated lessons this year (I know I’m a stubborn student but I think I’ve finally learned it, let’s all cross our fingers) is that I have a touch of a tendency to overload myself. Here’s what was on my docket for […]
The other day I was chatting with a friend. Who I love to death, partially because he’s willing to call me out on my bullshit. Like this time. He was talking about some of his friends and said “and you, you’re a very accomplished woman” and I snorted out loud in derision. He stopped, and […]
We depart from your usual blog posts for something a little outside the norm for this month’s Word Carnival. The theme was “love” and while I pondered trying to figure out how to tie love back into systems and productivity, I gave up on that and went the easy route instead. There are a lot of […]
Happy Turkey Day! Granted, I’m a day late, and you might not be from the USA, so maybe that’s not such a great opener. I always have conflicted feelings about Thanksgiving – I hate that we get such a whitewashed version of the historical events in school growing up (often more straight-up lies than whitewashed, […]
TODAY’S MY BIRTHDAY, Y’ALL. You know what this means, right? It means that all day I am going to totally abuse the phrase “It’s my birthday, I do what I want!” Including as justification for wearing a sexy villainess dress that will probably require double-sided tape to keep everything decent (it’s supposed to get here today, so I […]
I’ve moved a lot in my adult life. Like, an honestly ridiculous amount. (Just did a count in my head & the tally is at six times since I turned 19. That’s a little more often than once every eight months on average. Part of me thinks this is a little hilarious since I lived […]
Yeah, so I’ve kind of fallen off the map lately. If you want to know what’s been going on & what’s been going through my head, I have a handy little video to help you out: (I mention tech errors at the beginning of the video, and true to form, there are several spots where […]
Helen is one of my favorite ladies! She’s smart, funny, and always willing to check you on your assumptions. So when I saw that she’s doing a program (that looks amaaazing), I knew I had to get her on the phone so that we could talk about beating self sabotage & noticing + breaking out […]
We have hilariously bad luck with our choice of rental places. Here’s a short list of our experiences from the last three years: The house that got foreclosed on while we were renting there, because the landlord was using the rent money for drugs. (PS: He was also a youth minister. Can you say irony?) […]
